In their Telecasters? I've been hearing that they are about the best
hum canceling pups that still have the Fender twang & chime. I'd be interested
to hear from other users...

Thanks in advance!

I like the Fender SCN Noiseless Tele pickups.
I'll be interested in seeing any reviews of the DiMarzio Area T's.

I use them. I first heard about them on this forum. Mine are noiseless, but the Tele sounds like a Tele should. I also use the 2Tek bridge whick was installed after the Area T's. The pickups and the bridge made a pronounced difference in this instrument, in a positive way.
Photo below, the one on the left is a 2010 Fender Standard FSR with [EDIT] Vintage Noiseless pickups; I love the sound. The one on the right is the 2004 American Standard that I put the replacement pickups and bridge into - the guitars are a perfect match:

The guitar on the left looks like it has Fender Vintage "Noiseless" Tele® Pickups, not N3s.

Is that correct?
Can you please describe any differences or similarities of sound.

You are incorrect, Sir. N3s. They sound different from the Vintage Noisless, too, I had those in another guitar.
[EDIT] See me correct myself, next post :oops:

Although, now that I think of it, you ARE correct - the N3s are in my American Deluxe Strat, which replaced the Strat that had VNs, which influenced my purchase of the Tele on the left because I saw IT had VNs. Good catch, I'll edit that.
